with Stephane Bedard

September 9th—September 10th

This weekend program will consist of some meditation and various exercises such as collage, poetry, and object arrangement. Shambhala Art is a hands-on approach to creativity.

The creative process has more to do with perception than talent. Meditation helps this process by clarifying our perceptions, relaxing our relentless self-dialoguing, and revealing the source of creativity.

Be sure to join us for the introductory presentation on Shambhala Art on Friday September 8, 7:00pm-9:30pm.
